Chapter 36

"Babe, kuha mo nga ako ng isa pang plate please."

We prepared the dinner and hinihintay na lang si Carl. I consider him as a family kaya dapat lang na ganito. I look at Enia na kanina pa nagsusuklay at inuusisa ang mukha sa salamin.

"William, do I like pretty na ba? Okay lang ba 'tong skirt? Or mag-red lipstick kaya ako para mapansin niya agad? And di ka ba nababahoan sa perfume ko? Baka kasi iba yung pang-amoy niyo. So ?"

Natawa na lang si William sa sunod-sunod na tanong ni Enia. Excited na makita si Carl. Ikot siya ng ikot at naghintay ng reaksyon ni William.

"That's fine Enia. Wag kang magred lips baka mas lalo kang di pansinin ni Carl. And magkunwari ka namang di mo talaga siya pinaghandaan. Naka shirt lang nga kami eh."Sabi ko.

She pouted and went inside the room again. Pagkabalik nakalong tee na siya. Tsk. Pang-ilan na ba niyang palit yan? Pito?

Maya-maya'y dumating na si Carl. Sobrang nagulat siya na nandito si William.

"Why is Madrigal here?" He ask it loud enough to hear by William who is washing his hands in the sink.

I just hope that we're going to eat at peace. Bahala na mamaya.

"Tara na. Kain na tayo."

In the round table, William seated at my right side and Carl across me. Enia opened a topic about the courses we'll take in college. Pero si Carl halatang disturbed sa presensya ni Wil. Hayyy. Patapos na kami nang biglang magsalita si Carl.

"So Avi?"

Nagsimula akong kabahan. Si Carl kasi yung taong bigla-biglang nag-iinit ang ulo sarap batukan minsan eh.

Nilingon ko muna si Wil at tumango naman siya. "Carl-"

"Fck! Don't tell me kayo na?"

Agad na naalarma kami ni Enia. Jusko baka ihagis niya yung mga plato at magsuntukan si William.

I was about to say something when William hold my hand and I got tongue-tied.

"Yes." He said it.

"What the hell Avi?"

"Carl, mag-usap tayo." Tumayo siya agad na tumayo na rin kami ni Enia.

"Carl, listen to Avi first. I know you're hurt-"

"Damn! Yes! I am hurt! But Avi, what's this? Do you really want trouble? It's not about my feelings anymore, I love you so much that I'll understand if you'll be in a relationshit! But seriously? Ngayon mo pa talagang naisipang sagutin siya?"

"Carl, let's talk outside. " instead of listening to me,nagpatuloy siya.

" You know that Troy's here. You're dad wants him for you. What is this? Some kind of rebellion? Because god Avi! Alam mo kung ano ang mga susunod na mangyayari pero bakit mo parin 'to pinili?"

I know. He was saying it and my tears started to pool. William's just holding me and listening to Carl.

"I am talking here as your best friend. I hope that you made the right decision. And you Madrigal, panindigan mo 'to at kung hindi, babalik kang Cebu para sa operasyon mo."  He then storm out of the house with rage.

I am afraid that he's right. I cried silently in William's arms. "You don't need to worry Avi, I promise I'll be with you. You won't regret saying yes to me. Shhh."

Hindi naging maayos ang dinner kaya naman maaga ko ng pinauwi si William at nagdesisyong magpahinga kami ni Enia. Last week of class na namin at exam na sa Wednesday.  Pumasok ako sa school kasama si William at tinutukso kami ng mga kaklase namin. I acted that I was fine but I'm thinking of Carl.
